now I don't know if I'll see her again
if she'll come back as a woman
or if she'll decide to remain a man
now it's dangerous to give in
to the skin and to the flesh
but I do have a longing that hasn't been filled
and I can feel it coming round again
oh Candy, oh Candy, what have you done?
you have taken the riches I had just begun
but your face in the mirror
is not much more clear
than the last impression
take these stitches from my eyes
take me out of this lonely guise
and show me what it means to become someone else
and break these bodily chains
for I feel that I've had a disease
ever since the day I was born
and that somehow you have the cure in your pretty hair
now I do not worship in a building
and I have no need for a love without smoke without sin,
and without passion
oh Candy, oh Candy, what have you done?
you have taken the riches I had just begun
but now I would be content to roam
in your vocal storm
